As for Blue Proton, I don't know anything about them, except that their shipping is slower than what Amazon or Walmart used to offer. If I bought a Clara from Walmart today — for example — I wouldn't receive it until June 20th. When I bought my Clara HD from Walmart a couple years ago I picked it up the next day (or the day after that?).

I like it when there's competition. Before Blue Proton became the only seller of Kobos in the U.S. (besides Kobo themselves) even their own shipping was faster. Now that it's exclusively them (or Kobo), it appears they have no incentive to ship quickly. Walmart's and Amazon's two day shipping spoiled me.
I ordered a Clara BW today, July 3, since my Clara HD decided to die yesterday. and I have been unable to resurrect it. I ordered on Amazon, from Blue Proton, after first checking on Kobo's site and seeing that they are an authorized Kobo dealer. They offered Prime shipping, and I will get it on the 7th. It is delayed by the holiday, but that is normal.
